Are there any other considerations for running an End of Year?
- If your District is participating in the summer feeding program, you may wish to wait until that session has completed to run your End-of-Year process.
- The End of Year in DataCenter is recommended before running End of Year in Newton. The Enable End-of-Year Process setting in the last year’s DataCenter database (found under Admin → District Setup) must be checked in order to run the End of Year in Newton.
...
- From the Administration and Maintenance tab, select System Settings.
Click on the DataCenter tab and determine if you would like to "Prevent automatic deletion for students with balances." By default, this option is not selected. Click Ok to save changes.
Info If students have been deleted from DataCenter, but have a positive or negative balance in Newton, they will be marked 'Inactive' and remain in Newton as long as a balance remains.
Note This option does not overwrite clearing negative or positive balances in the End of Year options. If you select to clear positive or negative balances, the system will clear your selected choice(s). You may always access the Prior-Year database and run an account statement for the student(s) to review balances.
Warning If your District utilizes the Student Number as the POS ID, you must use caution when selecting this option. If your new SIS file assigns the student number to a new student record, it may result in inaccurate record history.
Warning This action may bloat the database as students with any balances remain in the system until their balance reaches 0 and additional students with balances will be added at the next End of Year process.
